President of Big Heco Envelope
Company Replies to Reports
of Great Shortage in Envelopes.
With Amorlcan onvolopo factories
already rushed to capacity by tho
elimination of tho great Gorman and
Kngllsh onvolopo makers from tho
maikot, and with tho Y. M. C. A.
using 20,000,000 a yoar, and tho folks
at homo all writing to tholr soldlors
and sailors In service, tho nown of a
govornmont order for 3,000,000,000
envolopos, which It is oxpected will
bo placed within a short tlmo, has
caused stationery dealers and users
to look anxiously at their stocks,
Envelope factorlos havo boon noti
fied by tho govornmont, It was
learned hero this wcok, to submit at
onco statements of their equipment
and estimates of thcr possible output.
A rumor that -tho government In
tended to tako ovor tho factories out
right, was Buld by Frank Hogan,
president of tho Heco Company, to bo
probably unfounded.
"Tho government already gets
' '- i 'v
iwtMP
preferential treatment of its orders, at
loast in our plant," ho said, "and In
dustries working directly to supply
war needs aro glvon tho noxt profor
enco. This comprises about 90 per
cent of our output. Othor customers
nro takon caro of only after theso
ordors havo been filled.
"An onvolopo shortagu Is posslblo,
though I don't think It will bo serious,
I presumo tho statement which has
been asked for, moans that tho pro
posed ordor for 3,000,000,000 envel
opes will bo pro-rated among manu
facturers according to their capacity.
It will tako caro of tho needs of tho
govornmont for a yoar and a half.
"I wish, howovor, that tho onvolopo
Industry would bo listed as ossontlal,
to ennblo us to koep our help."
What hold have tho taxis got on the
authorities that thoy can run with

STOP THIS NUISANCE
City Council Should Pass an Or
dinance Putting a Curb on

Theaters.
Tho Chicago City Council owes It
to tho million of people who attend
moving picture theaters In Chicago to
put a curb on tho pcoplo'who disturb
others In tho audience by carrying on
conversations whllo tho play Is on
tho screen.
TIicbo know-lt-nlls nnd leather
lunged Idiots nro to bo found In overy
theater In Chicago, to tho annoyance
of everybody else.
The Chlcngo City Council 20 years
ago, on tho Initiative of Aldorman N.
M. Plotke, passed nn ordinnnco pro
hibiting women from wearing hats In
theaters and thus obstructing tho
view of othor people.
Tho smart Alecks laughed at this
ordinance at first especially tho
smart Aleck dally press but tho city
enforced It nnd today. It is tho rulo In
overy theater In America.
A good healthy fine for talkers be
